Supreme Court Launces Writ of Amparo

Impunity has marked violations of human rights in the Philippines. Addressing this phenomenon, the Supreme Court of the Philippines has issued rules governing the writ of amparo (protection) to enable "any person whose right to life, liberty and security is violated or threatened with violation by an unlawful act or omission of a public official or employee, or of a private individual or entity."
You can access a copy of the rules in the court's website.
